On the net there is a page dedicated to the music in "Oude en Nieuwe Hollantse Boerenlieties en Contredansen," a collection of Dutch music published in the early eighteenth century.

Last Saturday, we had a lot of fun playing a dance from this collection. The name of the dance is "Het Waale Weeshuijs."

Anybody know what that means? Babelfish was baffled by it.

If you would like to go to the site and explore the music, it is at
